Technical Support (Path of Exile 1) - New Engine Patches uses twice as much CPU/GPU yet causes insane micro stutter and lag - Forum

Trade servers are undergoing maintenance. Some features will be unavailable.

Hidden over in the bug reports forum we have this stickied: " High Priority Known Issues (PC) These problems are currently being looked into and we'll be trying to get them fixed for you as soon as we can. There is no need to make new posts about them unless you have further information that may be helpful, thanks. High priority problems: Investigating client performance reports. ...but it's been there for a while so who knows if that last hotfix which supposedly addressed performance issues was the end of it. Some new GGG communication would be nice. The worst bit is that even high end systems are having issues, so it's not like throwing money at a new build is even guaranteed to help anything at this point. Please fix your game.

I have lost hope in stable fps	Posted by poexxl#3507 on Aug 31, 2023, 11:54:28 AM Quote this Post
Stuttering is making game unplayable, the problem of stuttering has now started giving me migraines. GGG fix your game, before the 6gb patch my game ran really smoothly but now it's complete trash, doesn't matter what I do to the settings or which renderer I choose, dx11, vulkan and dx12 all same problem.

So sad to see how they destroyed or made the performance worse, for some much worse after that damned 6GB patch, and for what? Nothing really. Visually, game didn't even really change. Nice patches. New mute system is terrible - no trade... Last edited by y3lw0rC#4020 on Sep 1, 2023, 3:03:45 AM	Posted by y3lw0rC#4020 on Sep 1, 2023, 3:03:13 AM Quote this Post

Yeah over the past 6 hours the game has become a drag on my system. Ryzen 9 3950x 16/32 ct 64GB RAM and a 3080 used to give me 175fps with no issues whatsoever. After the patch last night I'm down to 80fps. There must be something wrong here GGG.	Posted by seranoh#2400 on Sep 1, 2023, 5:06:26 AM Quote this Post

Why moderators are not banning people like him? It significantly reduces the life of your CPU! This reddit post even states how to make it run full power ONLY when you're playing poe and 75c is not even that high. Keep in mind that game is literally in uplayable state for those who have this issue and this reddit post at least allowed me and some of my friends (who are still using old cpus) to make practice runs before league start. Also GGG is radio silent as always and knowing their history with engine updates, we might be stuck with this solution for league or two. well..
